Have you ever snuck into a 2nd movie without paying? Well next time think twice… it might get you a felony charge!

Meet Lendsey and Delilha Harbin (pictured above).

The married couple thought it was a great idea to spend their weekly date night at the movies. But what started as a romantic outing, ended as a trip to the clink after the pair decided to watched two movies instead of the one they paid for.

Coincidentally… if THIS is a felony I think every movie-goer in America is headed to jail soon.

Details below…

According to the Smoking Gun the couple attended an Portage, ndiana multiplex theatre to watch “Snitch,” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, but when it ended, they exited theater #13 and headed into theater #15, where the zombie film “Warm Bodies” was about to start.

Two off-duty cops working security at the Portage 16 IMAX were standing outside theater #13 as “Snitch” was letting out. One officer reported alerting to Lendsey Harbin, 49, due to his “very colorful clothing, white vest, white dress pants, and a bright red shirt.” The second cop advised that he thought the Harbins had previously “attempted to sneak into movies without paying for the tickets.”

After the cops could not locate the Harbins in the hallway, they canvassed surrounding theaters and found the couple waiting for “Warm Bodies” to begin. After previews had ended and the movie started, the officers approached the Harbins and requested they exit the theater.

When asked for their ticket stubs, the Harbins came up empty. “I know we done wrong,” said Delilha Harbin, 40. The pair reportedly “advised they had snuck into movies at this movie complex 3 to 4 other times.” The Harbins, who live in nearby Gary, Indiana, also claimed they “were at a funeral all day and just were not thinking correctly.”

The duo was “taken into custody without incident” and transported to the Porter County jail, where they were booked on the felony count and later released on their own recognizance.

I have no words… a $6.75 FELONY? Clearly the authorities have too much time on their hands….

That movie theater didn’t have to get them locked up. They should have just made them pay or leave. Smfh. Unnecessary bullshit.

For Real?

Exactly!
Maybe cos they black…

OMG were there no murders to solve…lol the guilty speak first

A.N.D.

I was thinking the same thing. There are real criminals doing horrid things. Why not just ask them to leave. At least they paid to go to the movies most people Netflix red box and holla at the cd man lol.

I was thinking this too…a felony for sneaking in a theatre, but people can do a few months for taking a life, if anything. I’ve done this before. Hell, after you buy a soda and a popcorn they pretty much owe you another damn movie!

If they should’ve been arrested for anything, it should’ve been for even wanting to see Warm Bodies.

The amount of tax dollars wasted on arresting these people who were clearly targeted smh if they were white they would have got off with a warning how much you wanna bet

And the winner of the most hilarious comment goes to ^this person right above me..jbm…HEY EVERYONE..IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

STLChick

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Jennifer

I agree. Happy Bday.

cns

Now I have done this once or twice in my lifetime but it said that they did 3 or 4 times before at the same place so I’m going to assume that maybe they have been warned before. Attn: children and grown folks if you are given a warning please heed it. SMH.

Come on now! Seriously? They DID NOT have to lock them up for that! Those cops just wanted to have some fun at their expense. They were probably still upset over the presidential election and took it out on the moviegoers! LOL! Just plain ridiculous.

They didn’t have to arrest them simply have them pay for the movie! STUPID SHIT

lockstress

The felony is the felony charge!

*bet they’ll NEVA go see another movie again*

Soon2bwife

Well I will put it like this, Portage, IN really is not "into" black people so I am not surprised that this couple got arrested. Did they think about just making them pay for the movie they snuck into?

versatile

I’m just amazed that there’s ANY movie theater charging only $6.75!!! Only one I can find that’s cheap starts at $15 and there’s NO matinee.

Vay

the older movies there go down that low once they have been out for a while and on weekends the kids movies are free…they just should have gone to one of those. lol

Vay

lol I must be careful with this one but I will say many of you are right…had things been different there would be a total different outcome. How about they go help deal with some real crime in Gary!

Blessed41

This is ashame, because everything served at movie theaters cost too darn much! I stopped going a long time ago. That couple did no wrong than what celebrities do before filming movies onset. Police should be on scene when drugs are inside recording studios and onset, those darn celebs are messed up in the head anyway, I barely watch tv, I donot need demons flowing inside my eyeballs. One price for each ticket at theaters, heck, why not watch a second movie for free? only watching zombies any darn way. Jesus, please take the cameras away!

stanhope

OK, we all know that this was a case of WWB i.e. watching while Black. To arrest them is insane….as a previous person said, have them pay and let them go. Total bullshit.

I wonder if the out come would be the same if the couple was white…..

Anthony Williams

oh lord jesus it’s a fire,man I hope they don’t have no chillens cause man they are facially challenged

lnedykstra

It was not necessary for them to be arrested … at all! Stupid waste of tax dollars.

*In Funky Dineva’s voice* Is it me, or does she look like a big mouth billy bass fish???

Slw

Racist Indiana cops with nothing better to do, why don’t they concentrate on some of the crime in that poor miserable city! So ridiculous

Tia

Dem blue eyed devils at it again Lmbo!!! Unfortunately, this happened to these people and clearly made example of. I hope rightful justice prevails and this crap gets tossed out.a

Missy

The FACTS speak volumes….I know for a fact Portage, IN is a predominantly white area and Gary, IN is not….need I say more?

Another reason to support your own community.

2bme

The punishment does not fit the crime..this was done as an example to dem nigras getting outta line…smh

Renne Pagne

They were stupid for doing this in Portage Indiana, home of the KKK

Sagittarius

Most of y’all comments had me rolling y’all crazy lmaoooooooo …….but they really did use them to make a example smh a felony really smh

I do agree that this is some mess. But we have to keep in mind that every state have different laws. What might be a misdemeanor in Georgia just may be a felony in Indiana. And the officers were on their extra security job, so they were just following their orders. But if I was the police I would have allowed them to pay the extra movie fee and given them a criminal trespass warning.
